About this music library
Free BGM is a free library for people who make videos, podcasts and streams. Pick music by what you're making, like a podcast intro, a gaming video or a product demo, or by mood: funny, suspense or chill. Every track is a full MP3 at 192 kbps, and you can preview it right on the page.
If you'd rather just listen, the focus, sleep and lofi stations shuffle their tracks with smooth crossfades, and the noise players make white, pink and brown noise right in your browser, with no files to download. Set the sleep timer and the sound fades out on its own.
You can use the music for free, commercial projects included. Credit is appreciated, not required. Read the license before you publish, and if you ever get a copyright claim, the copyright claims page walks you through it.
Questions
Is this music free to use?
Yes. You can use any track in videos, podcasts, streams, games and client work, commercial projects included. There's no sign-up and no fee. The license page has the details.
Can I use it in monetized YouTube videos?
Yes, monetized videos are fine. We haven't registered these tracks in Content ID, YouTube's copyright matching system, and our license doesn't let anyone else register them either. So normally your video won't get a copyright claim because of our music, and your ad revenue stays yours. If a claim ever does show up, just follow the steps on the copyright claims page.
Do I need to give credit?
It isn't required, but we appreciate it. Something like this works: Music: track name (bgm-000123) from casper.tw/free-music/
What if I need a shorter or longer track?
Fade it out in your editor to make it shorter. To make it longer, place it twice and add a short crossfade between the copies.
How do I share one particular track?
Use the copy link button next to it. The link ends with the track ID, like #bgm-000123, and opens the page scrolled to that track with it highlighted.
What format are the downloads?
MP3 at 192 kbps, all leveled to the same loudness. Each file is tagged with the track name, its ID and its page link, so you can always find where it came from.
